Data quality, availability and accessibility for analysis is substandard Models and tools used and developed by specialists are insufficiently documented and often lack version control Developments to remedy the two above points are often hampered by the existence of (artificial) project boundaries Working like this is grossly inefficient We can do much better!! Although data, models, tools and information are the corner stones of hydraulic engineering projects: Introduction

Surely you recognize the following emotions? ohh, I used the wrong version ahh, where is the last version hmm, where was this measured oops, I forgot to include the timezone wow, you can actually show that in GoogleEarth? aarghh, the guy who measured it left? sigh, surely someone must have solved this problem before me! OpenEarth was started as a bottom up initiative by project engineers to break this apparent endless string of disappointment and frustration by introducing an open and project superseding approach. So how does it work? Introduction

Summarizing: What is OpenEarth? In summary, OpenEarth is: A community of users … That cooperate on the philosophy … That all data, models, tools and information … Should flow openly To facilitate effective cooperation OpenEarth: Offers a free infrastructure composed of the best available open source components adhering to widely accepted international standards … Shares all data, models, tools and information provided by previous OpenEarth projects from one shared storage location … Provides training for users to gain the (minimum) skills to cooperate effectively Some more details about the OpenEarth infrastructure …
